GWS Unc!!

[turbostang]

There's probably a lot of you that don't know - but Unc was in a rather unfortunate accident, his car fell on him while he was working on it.

He'll eventually be fine, but has a few broken ribs and a fractured collar bone.

I'll let him post up the exact details, but the car was on blocks and bieng put up on stands when it happened.

Be careful out there guys!!!

Wow..glad he's ok.

Guy had his car on stands and working under the engine and either the stands failed or he didn't "lock" them in place, but car dropped on him. Ambulance came and he had broken rips and crushed chest plate. I was a kid when it happened, but I remember it like it was yesterday. From that point on, I use stands and a jack when I go under car.

i copied an pasted from facebook

i replaced the whole rear suspension and had the tires settin on 4 2x12 blocks each so i could set the ride heigth and pinion angle. i noticed i didnt knotch the floor long enough the 2 top bars were bound so i un bolted the shocks. i forgot to remove the blocks and put jack stand on the front. i was under the car getting ready to position stands at the sub frame connecters while mikey was mikey was jacking up the rear and it rolled off the blocks and crushed me. some how i lifted it off me and got out from under it. i have a broke collar bone 3 broke ribs in 6 places wrist and lef hand is broke. ill be ok but it was astupid on my part it could have killed me. i dont know how i got out from it. the meds have me in laala cloud they have to heel on thier own. thank you for the thoughts

I'm glad your going to be okay. Sounds like you had someone watching out for you.

[naynay]

man thats so scary, and something that could happen to anyone of us.

i typically work alone and when i do have help its usually a random friend or neighbor who i stop to ask me to give me a hand. I know i piss them off but i can never stress how important safety is when crawling around under a car.. setting my truck back on the ground after 1.5 years on jackstands was my most triumphant day!

get well soon, and look into buying a lift!

[the kidd]

[Lason]
